Refreshing Horror Comedy
Well done. Not just a horror movie that gets laughs from the horror gags. The humor was steady throughout, if you like dark comedy. I found the story to be refreshing as it doesn't "keyframe" its story with cliché. Whether it be Hollywood formula, cinematic guidelines, director's guild tribal knowledge, or actor's schizophrenia, this movie doesn't rely on these tried and true methods. It's shock value is in the twist of fate scenario(s), and the absurdity of human behavior. The gore content was only at a level as what was necessary, not over the top. Some may disagree here, but think about all the zombie movies. Okay, the "art" room may have been a little graphic, emphasizing "little", but it was... "art", eh? Even the attempted gore had humorous tones. I didn't laugh out loud... but it was funny! For those of you who like dark comedy, horror movies and action, and want something new and refreshing, watch Murder Party. Oh, yeah, after watching it you'll learn that even a "cat" will understand that the master has had a really, really bad day.
Great fun
Really can't compliment this movie enough considering it's no doubt tight budget constraints. The last scrappy indie movie to come up with a smart concept and execute it this well was Blair Witch. Quite refreshing to see a low budget "genre" picture that's actually well-made and delivers the goods. Filmmakers were smart about locations (Brooklyn industrial areas) and using Halloween night in NYC as a backdrop. Very nicely shot, well-edited, but above all it's the acting that makes this movie stand out. Has both broad and subtle humor and it's a lot of fun. Expect creators behind this production to go on to do other bigger and better things.
Starts off promising then quickly lowers
Accepting a strange party invitation, a middle-aged man finds that the event is really a ruse by a group of psychopaths intending to kill him only to continually thwart their attempts in the process and has to save himself from the remaining group finishing what they started. This could've been quite the fun and enjoyable effort. What really tends to give this one a lot to work with is the exceptionally silly and goofy premise at the forefront of this one. The general concept of their ruse makes for a fun twist that's given right at the beginning of the film and the utterly cheesy premise has a lot of time to really work itself out with plenty of crazy encounters featuring him at the mercy of the group. The initial scenes of him mingling about the group where he's unaware of what they're going to do to him as they begin getting really obscure and off-the-wall makes for an overall stellar start to the film. As well, the way this quickly delves into the bonkers territory with their games and torture tactics which has a sense of unease in what's going on as they go through their routines and games with him which is where this one does slip somewhat but still has enough overt weirdness about it to really generate some fun times with their treatment of him setting up the film's best aspects in the final half. Consisting of a series of chases around not only their captive warehouse but also the neighboring art installation which ramps up the gore nicely but also has some thrilling action overall. Given that there's a lot of stellar gore and bloodshed, this here really makes for quite a fun time while it does have a few minor problems. The film's main issue is that it tends to downplay its stellar premise from the get- go with the idea of basically strapping him down in a chair for the main part of the film. He doesn't have much to do for almost nearly an hour into this and then has just slightly more to do than that in the overall finale so he really could've been written out of the film and not changed it much. That really does lower this one significantly since he doesn't do anything and has nothing to do with the story overall, rendering him somewhat useless than what should've been the case. As well, most of that is due to the film's other big issue with the really banal and overlong round of interviewing they go through which takes up so much time to accomplish nothing but irritation as nothing happens during these countless sessions and manages to drag this out with it's meandering and utterly unnecessary moments which are unneeded in the end. As well as the somewhat obvious low-budget nature of the film, these here are what really lower this one. Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and heavy drug use.
Hilarious!!
I saw this movie at Slamdance 2007 and really loved it. It was truly one of the best movies I saw at Sundance/Slamdance (If not THE best). The story - normal guy finds a note inviting him to come to a Halloween party where art students are waiting with a plan to murder him for the sake of art) while a bit outlandish, was serviceable. But the performances really solidified the movie. Chris Sharp as the boring, civil servant victim was the epitome of understated brilliance. The rest of the characters were all hilarious in their competitive pursuit for the grant money and all the performances were note perfect. Excellent on-screen chemistry and fantastic visual effects. Can't wait to see more from these filmmakers.
Love it or Hate it.
Judging by the other reviews it seems you will either love or hate this movie. As for me, I absolutely loved it. It may even be my new favorite movie. I went into this with ZERO expectations but when it was over I immediately wanted to watch it again and I did. I have never had that with any other movie. I'm really not even sure what it is I like so much about this movie. Its just so subtle and different from all the rubbish you usually get in a horror movie. Its bloody but only when it needs to be and... It just works, everything just works for me. I cant properly express my love for this movie. I'm going to go watch it again and try to figure it out. Basically I am going to go buy this movie now and if your sick of the usually bad horror movies you should too. Even if you don't like it someone you know will, give it to them.
